Week 4: Grander Vision Living | The Catalyst for a Grander Vision “Once when He was standing on the shore of Lake Gennesaret, the crowd was pushing in on Him to better hear the Word of God. He noticed two boats tied up. The fishermen had just left them and were out scrubbing their nets. He climbed into the boat that was Simon’s and asked him to put out a little from the shore. Sitting there, using the boat for a pulpit, He taught the crowd.” La pêche miraculeuse by Corinne Vonaesch, Switzerland http://www.c-vonaesch.ch/couleur_d_evangile_.html
Week 4: Grander Vision Living | The Catalyst for a Grander Vision “When He finished teaching, He said to Simon, ‘Push out into deep water and let your nets out for a catch.’”
Week 4: Grander Vision Living | The Catalyst for a Grander Vision “Simon said, ‘Master, we’ve been fishing hard all night and haven’t caught even a minnow. But if you say so, I’ll let out the nets.’ It was no sooner said than done—a huge haul of fish, straining the nets past capacity. They waved to their partners in the other boat to come help them. They filled both boats, nearly swamping them with the catch.”
Week 4: Grander Vision Living | The Catalyst for a Grander Vision “Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell to his knees before Jesus. ‘Master, leave. I’m a sinner and can’t handle this holiness. Leave me to myself.’ When they pulled in that catch of fish, awe overwhelmed Simon and everyone with him. It was the same with James and John, Zebedee’s sons, coworkers with Simon.”
Week 4: Grander Vision Living | The Catalyst for a Grander Vision “Jesus said to Simon, ‘There is nothing to fear. From now on you’ll be fishing for men and women.’ They pulled their boats up on the beach, left them, nets and all, and followed Him.” —Luke 5:1-11, MSG
